The Mattress
I knocked on our classroom door and Ms. Bustier lets us in. "Good morning Adrien and Chloe." Her cheerful voice was something I needed to hear. "Good morning." I tried to smile back but I couldn't. Chloe on the other hand didn't say anything.
"Hey dude why are you here so late?" Nino questioned me. "Yeah that's not like you." Alya finished off. I didn't know what to say, I couldn't tell them could I? "Ms. Bustier we've come to get our work for the two weeks." Chloe spoke up. She clapped her hands and smiled. "Why yes I forgot."
"What's going on Chloe?" Kim asked. "We're leaving Paris for a while." She told them and everyone went quite, even the teacher stopped what she was doing. "I wasn't told that, is everything okay?" The orange haired lady asked.
"No." Chloe said it low. "If we could talk to you in the hallway." I asked her but Chloe stopped me. "We should tell everyone, she was friends with a few of them." I agreed and took a deep breathe.
"[Name's] mother passed away while on a business trip and because of that we were only going to be gone for a while." I paused thinking about that note. "But last night [Name] went to the United States and now she's missing. So Chloe, my brother and I are going to look for her."
It was quite, no one said a thing. Ms. Bustier hugs me then Chloe for condolence, that's when Chloe began to cry again. "You said she left last night?" Marinette spoke up and I nodded my head. "Do you know what time?" She asked again. "Around twelve in the morning."
She cupped her mouth and I was confused. "She came to my house around that time yesterday." Chloe quickly turn around and through her tears she asked her why. For a second she seemed hesitant on saying it. "Marinette."
"She came by to thank me for sticking up for her on the first day of class. Then she thanked me for everything else. After that she left. I'm sorry, if I knew I would've stopped her." I glanced at the time, it was almost ten.
"Adrien are you guys done?" Felix entered the classroom. "Here you guys go, good luck and please bring her home." Ms. Bustier held tears in here eyes and I took our work. "I promise we will." After that we left school and took Chloe home. "See you later Chloe." She hugged me and said bye.
"Adrien." Felix said and I perked up. "What if we find her but she's in a certain condition?" He stared at the road. My thoughts were back to that weird dream I had. Could it be that he too experienced the same thing?
"Felix did you have a dream that involved [Name] looking all bloody?" "Yeah." He gave no time to think about it. "Chloe and I had that same dream to." He sighed. "Then that wasn't a dream, if one of us had it maybe. But all three of us experienced it."
My heart dropped. "So you're telling me that she possibly could be-" He stops me. "Don't put that into the air, but answer my question." I thought about it for a few minutes but the same words kept coming and going. "I don't know."
We were at [Name's] house. "Well you need to think about that possibility also. Go take care of whatever you need to we leave at twelve." After that he went in the house.
"It's okay I'm gonna walk to where I need to go since it's not far." I get out the car and head to Master Fu's place. "She'll be okay, she won't be hurt." I told myself that over and over. Though the more I told myself that, the less I believed it.
"Hey Plagg." He sat in my shirt. "I know pal, you're going to give me back to him." I didn't say anything. "I hope you guys find her safe and sound." I gave him a hug and knocked on the door.
"Adrien I was expecting you to come." He invited me inside and I sat down. "You were?" He nods. "[Name] came by yesterday to return her miraculous. So said she gave up on the idea of reviving a dead one." She came by here also, then did she plan everything while we were all there.
"I hope she's okay, she told me today her mother will pass. How is she?" He gave me a concerning look. "She disappeared last night. She said she went to the United States." Fu seemed taken back.
So he didn't know either. "That's why I'm here, I'll be leaving to go look for her for however long that takes." I stared at my ring. "So in the meantime I'm giving Plagg back." I was about to take off the ring until he stopped me.
"Take Plagg with you, it's always good to have a friend support you. I'll just tell Ladybug you gave your miraculous back because Hawkmoth was no longer a threat." He smiled. "Thank you." His hand sat on my shoulder. "Be careful okay, Chloe too."
I was a little shocked. "[Name] told me to take care of you both because at some point she would leave Paris, though I didn't know she already planned on it." We sat in silence for awhile, though it was nice.
"You should be getting home soon correct? You need to leave to find her." I agreed and got up. "Actually before I leave could I talk to her kwami?" He agreed and told his kwami he'll put him back on in a minute. After that he put on Hawkmoth miraculous and a purple kwami flew out.
"Hello Adrien, I'm Nooroo." He was very polite. "Hey Nooroo. Can I ask you about [Name]?" He agreed and I began.
"You knew she was leaving last night?" "Yes." "And have you noticed her behavior when you're with her?" He was quite for a second but answered it. "She seemed to be talking to her father a lot. But from my point of view, it looked like she was talking to herself."
"Then she wouldn't eat any of the food Felix would make because it had her medicine in it. And the medicine she had that her mother left is underneath her mattress." So when was the last time she took them? "She would say that if she took them then she wouldn't be able to talk to her dad."
I wasn't too sure on what happens to her if she doesn't take them, I'm sure Felix would know. "As time progressed I'm sure she was losing her mind because she wasn't taking her medicine. And because of that I think that's why she wanted to bring her dad back so badly. [Name] saw illusions of him when in reality it was just her talking to herself, he was never there."
I tried to think of more things to ask him but I knew I had to go. "Thank you Nooroo." He bowed. "I'm sorry I can help no longer." He said sadly. He was with her every step of the way, he knows so much but I'm sure he wouldn't tell me everything that happened. I feel sorry for the bag he has to carry.
"No you've helped me plenty enough. I'll be sure to bring her back and you could see her again." His smile was small and he thanked me and disappeared. "Okay Fu, thank you for you time." He stood up. "I hope all of you guys come back safe and sound." I left after that and went to pack.
"Underneath the mattress." I remember what Nooroo told me and check. To my disbelief there were many pills under here. "Felix!" I shout at him. He came rushing into the room and instantly the bed caught his attention.
"From the beginning I don't think she took them, even now I don't think she ever ate what you cooked because they were in there." He was speechless. "What happens if she doesn't take them?"
"She'll get delusional. Her heart and mind can't process things the same. Ever since she found out her dad died she had to take medicine, to keep her body and mind balanced." He told me.
"And if they aren't balanced?" His gaze went to the floor. "I don't know, her mother never told me that. But if she hasn't taken them for this long, since I left." He paused. "Then those dreams we had will be reality."
The image of her bloody body appeared in my head again. "It can't be." I held my chest. "You ready? Let's head out then." I grab my bags and put them in the car.
'Then you need to think about that possibility.' The possible fact that she might've killed herself? Then Chloe has to also think about that. No, we can't let Chloe know until we see [Name].
